I have had my Ms. Christie since about March now and she lives in a pretty big cage all by herself. I am a full time student and don\'t get to play with her during the day. Would it be a good idea to get another bunny to put in with her, so they can play during the day? I\'m not sure how a rabbit will get along with another after she has been by herself all this time
I wouldn\'t recommend it.
Rabbits are very territorial and can be extremely aggressive to the point of delivering severe injuries - even death. Since you say you cannot be with your bunny for long stretches of time, that means two bunnies would be alone and unsupervised. Too risky in my opinion.
Do you have toys your rabbit can play with?

Ok. Sounds kind of Scary. I do have some toys for her but she doesn\'t play with them. Do you recommend any specific toys for rabbits? She does like to move her food dish and play with it a lot...
Hard plastic toys suitable for a baby are good (toy keys on a ring, for example). Pet shops often sell wooden toys safe for rabbits. Pop cans with the ring removed are also good.

My rabbit loves those little plastic slinkies you can buy at the Dollar store. That\'s one of his favorite toys. Others are: Hotwheels, toilet paper tube tucked in at the ends with hay inside; plastic cat balls; and a small cardboard box with the flaps still attached and holes in the sides so he can see and poke his nose through (and occasionally get a treat in!).
